About us

The menu:A selection of small plates such as steak tartare, escargot, frogs legs, French onion soup, charcuterie and cheese. Our menu board featuring four to five mains including Patron’s signature dishes: open fire Onglet steak, melt in the mouth Duck Confit & classic Moules Frites. All mains come with a seasonal side of your choice.

The atmosphere:With a Parisian feel and items collected during the owners travels driving through France. Patron has intimate bistro tables and a beautiful curved marble cocktail bar.

Background:After the success of Café Gourmand, their petit bistro in Lexington Street Soho, Jean-François & Tanzi started their next chapter with Patron Restaurant in March 2015. In November 2018, they fully embraced the opening of Tabac Bar. The French and English couple met in 2006 in a cooking school at the heart of London and embarked on this gastronomic journey along with their little bilingual Terrier, Pippin.

What was your first impression about Patron Cave à Manger?I have seen a good ambience and the spirit I was looking for - family and friends working together.How do you feel about your beginnings in the kitchen? I was impressed to see a really young head chef with a lot of passion and I really appreciated his faith in me.
